The question was what we should wear to show our resistance. The answer was a resistor. I jokingly went to the extreme, as is my habit, and proposed, as the symbol of a political resistance, the wearing of firearms. I didn’t mean to freak you out, RT. It was a little joke (kinda) – the kind of sarcasm one employs out of sheer political frustration at grave injustices. I agree wholeheartedly with you that guerilla warfare and the formation of a military wing of the 9/11 Truth movement is not an option we want to seriously consider at this moment. We are still in the phase of what Che Guevara called “peacefully educating the peasants,” a phase of peaceful teach-ins, flyers, writing, research, handing out DVDs, banners, bumper stickers, etc. The Cuban revolution was not officially launched until the guerillas had brought the peasantry up to speed on what Gen. Batista’s military dictatorship was all about. Those revolutionaries were successful because they had achieved an educated critical mass among the Cuban people, and thus had their support.

We do not yet have that kind of support, and scale-wise, a little island country like Cuba was a lot easier to handle, and that revolution also happened at a time when technology, as we know it, was very primitive. I have always respected Dr. King and Gandhi, but I also grew up with the teachings of Malcolm X who believed in righteous self-defense against an oppressor. Growing up. we were always taught that it was honorable and patriotic to want to defend and protect your country, and if necessary to even die for it so that others might live in freedom. Little did we know that someday our country would be occupied and stolen from within by sub-human, psychopathic creatures who would construct concentration camps in our country to shut up those who objected to a culture and economy of unending war, slavery and brutality. Little did we know that some day the Senate would debate whether or not to REINSTITUTE habeas corpus rights, or that every election would be a complete joke, fixed and controlled by computers. Little did we know that our media and government would be completely controlled and co-opted by people from a little country called Israel, and that they would, through deception and guilt, use our tax dollars and be completely willing to sacrifice the lives of OUR sons and brothers to fight their filthy genocidal wars of Middle Eastern conquest, all so that they could maintain the illegitimate real estate theft that they conned out of the British in 1919 at the Paris Peace Conference in Versailles.

I pray for a peaceful solution to all this through our mass educational efforts, and I applaud and completely support your peaceful consciousness, but after hearing the threats of Rick Santorum the other day that the Big Terror (accompanied by martial law and the rounding up of dissidents) is coming within the next year, i.e. before Bush is inconveniently forced out of office, I would just say to you that, in the back of your mind, you might want to consider the horrible fact that in the not so distant future, we might actually have to fight by force of arms to take our country back from the corporate military whores that are trying to sell us into slavery. Our founding fathers were thinkers, fighters, and brave revolutionaries. That is our heritage. We were the first to throw off the yokes of monarchy, and we, unfortunately, might have to do it once more, as the price of freedom is eternal vigilance, and all the good things that Americans have are there because the people fought for them against a government that always flirted with corporate despotism.

Peace and respect to you, Gretavo, and all my good friends here. I’m off to work on my research and street education project. Later bro.
